Snow Storm December 2009

All bundled up! I can barely move Thinks this is funny

Let's go

First sight of snow

Helping Daddy with the sled

I pull it

Jumping in the deep snow

It is deep on her

Ready for my sled

Posing

Patting the snow

Trying to walk in snow to my knees

Mitten prints

Time for Daddy's workout pulling Savannah on the sled up the driveway

Bye Mommy

And they are off--over the river and through the woods

Woke up to 12+ inches of snow this morning. It is white, powdery, fluffy--a winter wonderland. Lots of snow on our doorstep. We got Savannah ready to go play in the snow with Daddy and as we were dressing her, she said, "All done in the snow. I play Barbies with Mommy." That is my girl. She loved it once she got outside though. She is a princess and a snow bunny. It is very light and fluffy snow so she did not mind falling in it. She is very bundled up, so hopefully she won't be too cold. It has one from 17 degrees this morning up to a whopping 25 now. She is on her LL Bean wooden sled with Daddy and they are taking a walk and going down to the pond behind our house.

Seth is taking a nap, hopefully his long nap of the day. Maybe he will go out a bit later, if it isn't too cold. He has a little tobogan that we used to use for Savannah that he can be strapped into and pulled along.

Hopefully they will get the snow cleared and tomorrow will be passable. We are getting snow tires on our Subaru tomorrow. We already have them on the minivan.

In other news, we got our court date for Seth's finalization. It was supposed to be for December 29th, but our social worker has a conflict that day (of course, Murphy's Law). She is wonderful, but very busy (especially this time of year). So, now it is January 7th. I can't wait to have it signed, sealed, and delivered and he will be officially ours and a citizen of the United States (paperwork and state government wise, for us he was official after our embassy appointment in Japan). I am going to call the court on Monday and see if they can squeeze us in for the 30th, when our social worker is available to have it done in 2009, but with the holidays it is probably a long shot, but always worth it to ask.
